Plans for a Neutron EDM Experiment at SNS
The electric dipole moment of the neutron, leptons, and atoms provide a
unique window to Physics Beyond the Standard Model. We are currently developing
a new neutron EDM experiment (the nEDM Experiment). This experiment, which will
be run at the 8.9 A Neutron Line at the Fundamental Neutron Physics Beamline
(FNPB) at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at the Oak Ridge National
Laboratory, will search for the neutron EDM with a sensitivity two orders of
magnitude better than the present limit. In this paper, the motivation for the
experiment, the experimental method, and the present status of the experiment
are discussed.Comment: 9 Pages, 4 Figures, submitted to the proceedings of the Second
